Happy weekend. This was a busy week between class and work, but I learned a lot! This weekend will be a mix of family and friends. My mom had foot surgery yesterday, so we are all keeping her company at my parents’ house today. Tomorrow, I’m hosting a birthday pool party for a girlfriend. In between? Rest. We have our July photo shoot on Monday, and then I fly to LA on Wednesday. Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s great! Enjoy this week’s list. Xx (PS – don’t forget, now you can get blog posts via email!)
